OF THE NATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION POLICY
1-INTRODUCTION
A National Civil Aviation Policy (PNAC) corresponds to the set of guidelines and strategies that will guide the planning of the institutions responsible for the development of Brazilian civil aviation, setting objectives and strategic actions for that sector, and integrates into the context of Brazilian national policies.
The main purpose of PNAC is to assure the Brazilian society the development of broad civil aviation system, safe, efficient, economical, modern, competitive, compatible with environmental sustainability, integrated to the other transport modalities and underpinned in the productive capacity and service provision in the national, South American and world areas.
It is up to highlight that civil aviation is the factor of integration and national development. One of the purposes of PNAC is therefore to characterize the importance of the development and increase of the availability of aeronautical and airport infrastructure, with a view to increasing the supply of air transport services. Such a condition will allow broadening of the availability of services, enabling, in this manner, increased welfare of Brazilian society, as well as greater integration of the Country in the international context, in the face of the exceptional importance of aviation for modern social and economic activities.
PNAC has as its premises the fundamentals, objectives and principles laid down in the Constitution and harmonize with the international conventions and treaties ratified by Brazil. It should be noted, therefore, that the observance of national legislation and the consideration of international civil aviation related standards and best practices is an indispensable commitment to good planning of activity. In the same way, the maintenance of an updated legal milestone and the surveillance of its compliance are essential requirements to the development of the Brazilian air sector.
The necessary resources and deadlines involved in the complex and interdependent productive, operational, technical, and administrative activities-fundamental to the success of the national aviation-, they claim the effective acting of the Brazilian state to coordinate, under the optics of the public interest, the performance of the various public and private bodies and entities. It is up to him to set the goals to be pursued, with a view to disciplining the choices, harmonizing the interdependent achievements and preventing disparities for the sake of greater joint efficiency.
The achievement of PNAC's goals demands interaction with international organizations, agreements with other countries and trade relations with foreign companies. Such activities underline the necessity of political acting of the Brazilian state in defending national interests.
Nthese terms, this paper reflects the political intentions of the Brazilian society for the development of the Civil Aviation System. It has, equally, the virtue of getting to every citizen, in an organized and systemic way, the goals and strategies applicable to the sector.
This paper composes a political part, which contemplates the objectives of PNAC; of a strategic part, where the strategic, general and specific actions, and of a final part are presented, in which the methodology of monitoring, evaluation and revision of PNAC is presented.
Finally, it emerges the importance that PNAC is observed by the federal, state and municipal governments, well as too much responsible for the development of civil aviation, so as to be implemented harmonic and coordinately by all.
2-GOALS
2.1.The SECURITY
The permanent goal that guides and enhances the actions of civil aviation is the security, being this, therefore, prerequisite for the functioning of the sector.
The concept of security comprises a permanent state of assurance of physical integrity and heritage of the users of the civil aviation system. Security covers OPERATIONAL SAFETY and PROTECTION AGAINST ILLICIT ACTS, which are permanent goals in civil aviation activities.
The actors of the system will act in a coordinated fashion, within their assignments, to to ensure the implementation of the highest practicable degree of safety in the proper provision of the public air transport service.
2.2.THE PROVISION OF THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE
The appropriate provision of the public air transport service regular by operators presupposes CONTINUITY, REGULARITY and PUNCTUALITY OF THE SERVICE, among others, without which it discharacterizes.
Concurrent to the guarantee of the provision of appropriate services the availability and the continuity of services provided by the providers of the aeronautical and civil airport infrastructure.
For the guarantee of continuity, regularity and punctuality of the service is required to establish measures that identify and eliminate the threats to these precepts and to respond swiftly and positively to natural, material or human factors that may disrupt the provision of the air transport service. The cooperation between organs and entities of public administration and the private sector should be encouraged so as to ensure the continuity, regularity and punctuality of the air transport service.
2.3.THE ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Minimize the detrimental effects of civil aviation on the medium environment is the duty of all, mainly of the organs, entities and persons bound for aviation, particularly with regard to noise and emission of gases from aircraft engines and impacts of the infrastructure. Stimulating the adoption of mechanisms aiming to mitigate such effects is action that is necessary for the protection of the environment.
Efforts should also be made in the sense of establishing or enforcomplying agreements with national and international bodies that contribute to the conservation and maintenance of the environment.
2.4.A CONSUMER PROTECTION
The fulfilment of the needs of consumers, respect to their dignity, health and safety, the protection of its economic interests, as well as the transparency and harmony of consumer relations, constitute itself in important milestone in the relations between consumers and suppliers of goods and services.
The peculiarities of civil aviation impose the need for self-standardization, which behold the prevailing principles in the Consumer Protection Code and ensure, clearly and properly, the user's rights of the air transport service, without that having to resort to the judicial route, with views to harmony in their relations with the providers of the public air transport service.
Thus, it is the duty of the State to ensure the existence of the necessary mechanisms to the protection of the consumer of the air transport service, in line with the precepts of the Constitution, the infraconstitutional legislation, the jurisprudence and the prevailing agreements.
2.5.The DEVELOPMENT OF CIVIL AVIATION
Few economic sectors cover set of activities as complex as those of civil aviation.
Tracts from sector marked by regulation (technical and economic) and intense oversight; capital intensive, skilled labour and cutting-edge technology; vulnerable to adverse weather and geographical conditions; network-structured; dependent on international agreements; extremely diversified as to the stage of business development; and supplier of goods and services of high specific value.
Diant of such complexity, the proper coordination of industry activities aeronautics, training of professionals at all its levels, civil airport infrastructure, civil aeronautical infrastructure and air services is a key task for the development of civil aviation Brazilian.
Measures such as the stimulus to the training and empowerment of professionals, to the opening up of companies of manufacturing and maintenance of aeronautical components, the broadening of supply of the civil aeronautical infrastructure, the growth of air transport, competitiveness and the drafting and maintenance of upgraded legal milestone, transparent and appropriate are to be, among others, object of specific public policies, but which keep from each other great correlation as to the goals to be collimated.
The Brazilian state should be able, therefore, to adequately predict the demand for goods and aeronautical services and to propitiate the conditions for the development of civil aviation to be done in a harmonic, balanced and appropriate manner. Such a condition becomes even more relevant in what tange the infrastructure necessary for the development of civil aviation.
Infrastructure provisioning, either by the Public Power or by private actors by means of of delegation, as laid out in the Constitution, shall provide for the development of air transport activities. There is to overcome the obices that prevent the growth of civil aviation in an orderly manner and in line with the national goals of integration and broadening access to service, so as to promote prosperity equitably.
2.6.The EFFICIENCY OF CIVIL AVIATION OPERATIONS
The efficiency of civil aviation operations benefits everyone and is a goal to be pursued. For so much, the enhancement of air navigation, the optimization of the use of airspace and civil airport infrastructure, in a coordinated and harmonic manner, and the improvement of management methods, processes and practices, must be continuously fetched.
The big beneficiary of technological advancements should be modern management and dynamic air traffic, capable of minimizing the limitations imposed on the user of the airspace. Without compromising security, the user should be able to adhere to his / her flight profile as planned and requested.
The Civil Aviation System should be able to keep track of the performance of its elements constitutive and to equip themselves in a manner compatible with the advances and innovations introduced in the system.
In the same sense, the regulatory milestone of civil aviation, in all its segments, should be drawn in a manner to seek greater economic efficiency, again without prejudice to the security and observed the strategic interests of the Country.
Getting greater economic efficiency allows for the broadening of social welfare and enables better allocation of productive resources. The efficient allocation of resources makes it possible to provide greater supply of air transport services, which, under the aegis of the appropriate regulatory instruments, results in the expansion of competition. The increased competition, in turn, by encouraging greater levels of quality and lower prices, acts towards aggregating new users to the air transport modal.
